Answer:

20ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length = L

Let the width = W

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

L = 5W .......equation 1

2L + 2W = 24 ........equation 2

To find the width

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, we have;

2(5W) + 2W = 24

10W + 2W = 24

12W = 24

W = 24/12

Width, W = 2 ft

To find the length;

Substituting the value of "W" into equation 1, we have;

L = 5W

L = 5*2

L = 10 ft

To find the area of the rectangle;

Area = LW

Area = 10*2

<em>Area = 20 ft²</em>

Therefore, the deck's area is 20 feet square.

PLEASE HELP!!! At the state fair 6 employees were paid $6.93 an hour. They worked for 9 hours at regular price and then for 5 ho
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Your answer should be 443.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so if 6 workers were paid 6.93 an hour each and worked 9 hours each then you would do 6.93 x 9 for the number of hours and the pay for each hour, which is 62. 37. Then you would times 62.37 by 6 because you have 6 workers and the question asks for how much they made in TOTAL. 62.37 x 6 is 344.22, then you still have you overtime hours. So if each worker makes 3.32 for every overtime hour then you would do 3.32 x 5 for the number of hours. And that equals 16.60, then you would multiply that by 6 for the number of workers, 16.60 x 6 = 99.60. So in total for regual hours they made 344.22, and in total for overtime hours they made 99.60. Now you add those to to get you overall  price which is 443.82. And that should be your answer

Hope I did some good :) Have a great day!
